I had about 7-10 minutes to get a portrait of this guy at the local pizza place where he works. He was very nice but obviously short on time, as his boss had mentioned that he needed to be behind the counter. I shot some inside but they were terrible. So, I went outside and enlisted the sun as a second light. I like the end result, although the blow out bar on the window (a reflection for the setting sun/sky) bugs me.
(Stephen Fogg/The Battalion) Junior independent musician Colin Bates plays Friday night at a "House Show" hosted by his friend, junior Natalie Wells. Bates and others spent the eveing entertaining a crowd with both original and cover material.I love this picture, it's probably my favorite I've shot in a long time. The atmosphere of the whole thing was extremely interesting. It was basically a mic and speakers set up on the back porch of a house with the audiance in couches and blankets in the yard. The light was terrible, just that one lamp and about 1/30th or so at 2.8 and 3200 on the musicians faces, but it made for a great setting. The color looked bad, but I think black and white suited it well.
